An Idaho woman just found out her biological father is a homeless man she’d seen around town for years.

23-year-old Shoshannah Hensley was working Sunday night at an Exxon gas station when he came in and asked how much money was left on his food stamp card.

She took the card to check, and after looking at it and asking the man his middle name told him: ‘You’re my biological father! I’ve been searching for you for over 20 years.’

Hensley said she’d seen the man with the large cowboy hat many times before and said, ‘As far as I knew he was just another gentleman on the streets coming into the store.’

Her father was just as excited to finally be reunited with his daughter after all these years, and says, ‘We both started shaking.’ He fought back tears and said, ‘I don’t wanna cry. When you miss a child, you feel empty for years.’
